Dairy Queen Sweet Deals

Dairy Queen is launching a new deal. You can mix and match nine menu items, choosing two for $3, three for $4 or four for $5. You have the freedom of choice with more than 20,000 combinations.

I think I would try the Chicken Wrap, Salad and ice cream cone. All for $4. Might make a cheap date night.

To try this for free, I would tell all my friends about it, which is what I'm doing right now.

Check it out here for more details.

Cheap Eyeglasses

I just read a post on another blog that reminded me of great deal I got a few years ago. I paid $8 + 4.95 shipping for prescription eyeglasses. They are great and I get compliments on them all the time. I always tell people that I got them for $8 and they are shocked. One lady that worked at Bath & Body Works actually ran to get some paper and had me write down the website so she could check it out for herself. Zenni Optical offers a wide range of prescription eyeglasses(even children's) for as low as $8. You can even get them tinted so you can have a pair of prescription sunglasses. I've gotta do that before this summer!

Update on Swagbucks

So at the beginning of the month I signed up for Swagbucks and mentioned it here. I just cashed in for 2 $5 Amazon.com giftcards. Since they just recently changed their giftcards to all e-giftcards I decided not to save up for the Target $20 one. So in less than a month I earned $10 in giftcards (with some help from some of you who signed up through my link, thank you!). If I could keep this up, I'd have about $100 saved up to do some Christmas shopping on Amazon. So if you haven't signed up yet, I encourage you to. It really doesn't take too much time to do. Anytime you need to search for something, just type in in at swagbucks. Usually I'll get a buck or two after a couple of searches. If not, then I try again later in the day. And if you tell others about it and they sign up under your referral link then you get a buck every time they do. Pretty sweet! Who can't use a little extra especially at this time? Sign up here

Do you shop at Kohl's?

If so, you may want to sign up here and you'll get a coupon for $5 off your next purchase. There is no minimum purchase so if you can find something for $5 you'll get if for free. I did this awhile back and signed up a few of my e-mail accounts and got some pretty good deals.

Free Sub from Quiznos

Quiznos is giving away 1 million subs to the first 1 million to sign up here. I signed up for me and for John so we can have a free dinner.

ETA: Check your spam folder, that's where my e-mail went.

Redbox Code

Code for free redbox rental S39XKT, good until midnight 2/23/09

What can you get for under $10 at Target?

5 boxes of Poptarts
5 boxes of nutrigrain bars
3 bags of Goldfish crackers
$9.40

So here's the deal: When you buy 5 boxes of selected Kellog's products(Poptarts, Nutrigrain bars, Rice Krispie Treats, Special K bars) you get a $5 giftcard.

I bought the Poptarts because I had 2 $1 off 2 coupons from the newpaper inserts and there are $1 off 2 Target coupons here.

I got the Nutrigrain bars because I had 2 $1 off 2 coupons from the newspaper inserts.

The boxes are $2.54 ea. so I paid $.74 ea. for the Poptarts and $1.14 ea. for the Nutrigrain bars (after coupons and the giftcards).

Now here's the trick, you can't actually use the $5 giftcards for this current transaction but I used a $10 Target giftcard I had earned from creating a group at Lilaguide.com and getting 5 members to join it. So I used that giftcard but then got 2 $5 giftcards afterwards to replace it.

Then the goldfish crackers are $1.79 and there is a $1 coupon here making them $.79 a bag.

Free Birthday Treats

I just came across this website that lists what you can get for free/discount for your birthday depending on your state. This is a great resource! John's birthday is next month and I've already planned a great night out to dinner(his meal is free) and then some ice cream(his is free). It'll be fun and inexpensive at the same time.

It's good for one use per credit/debit card. It expires midnight tonight.

More Walgreens

Here are a few more of the Easysaver Rebate Deals for this month that are definitely worth doing:

Revlon Age Defying Spa Concealor or Spa Foundation $9.99 Get $9.99 ($1 coupons from previous inserts)

Revlon Creme Lip Gloss $9.99 Get $9.99 ($1 coupons from previous inserts)

Walgreens Multi-Purpose No Rub Solution $1.99 Get $1.99

Scrubbing Bubbles Flushable Cleaning Wipes on sale this week 2/$5, there are printable coupons for $3/2 and then you get $1 rebate on each (limit 4)

Windex Cleaning Wipes on sale this week 2/$5, there are printable coupons for $1.50 and then you get $1 rebate on each (limit 4-which includes the scrubbing bubbles, and there was also a mail in rebate form from Windex a few weeks back so if you have that form you can get $2.50 from the company)


Okay, so I got all these things:
1 Garnier Product $3.99 (-$1 coupon)
1 Zucol $7.99 (-$2 coupon)
1 Thermacare $2.49
1 Revlon Concealor $9.99 (-$1 coupon)
1 Revlon Lip Gloss $9.99 (-$1 coupon)
1 Walgreens Contact Solution $1.99
2 Scrubbing Bubbles Wipes $5 (-$3 coupon)
2 Windex Wipes $5 (-$3 coupons) *Mail in rebate for $2.50

Paid-$35.44 Get back $42.94 or $46.98 if I choose the Walgreens gift card and get an additional 10%

I would guess it took me less than an hour to do all the shopping and entering the info. online for the rebate so I got paid more than $11/hr. to shop plus I got all that free stuff. Now when you look at it that way, how can you afford to not do it?

P&G Deal

I was shopping at Pick N Save today and saw a form for a $15 gas giftcard when you purchased $40 in P& G products($10 giftcard if you bought $35). The forms were by the service desk although after I purchased my stuff, one printed out through the catalina machine. I decided I would spend my $40 in diapers. I got one large box of Luvs(size 3) for $16.99 and 2 mega packs (size 3) for 11.69 ea. which brought my total to $40.37(not including tax). After I factor in the $15 giftcard, I'm spending $25.37 for 224 diapers or $.11/diaper. There are so many possibilities for this deal because there are lots of qualifying products such as Tide, Bounce, Charmin, Covergirl, Crest, Dawn, Pampers, Luvs, Swiffer, etc just to name a few. You have until 3/1/09 to make your purchases and then the form must be postmarked by 4/15/09. It's limit 1 per household. This week's Sunday paper had the new P& G coupon insert in it with lots of good coupons you could use on this deal Also, it might be wise to do this on a Wed. when it's double coupon day and then you'd already be above the $25 min. to double the coupons.

Swagbucks.com

I've been doing swagbucks for just a little while so it's pretty new to me. You sign up and make an account with them, then just search like you would with any other search engine and you could win swagbucks. They are "won" randomly so it helps to do it throughout the day since it could be different times of day that trigger them better. Then you can redeem your swagbucks for lots of cool things including giftcards. For example, you can get a Starbucks $5 giftcard with 50 swagbucks or a $20 Target giftcard with 220 swagbucks(there are many more). I'm going to try for the Target giftcard so if I could somehow win 4 swagbucks per day it would take me just under 2 months to get a $20 giftcard. Not too bad since I'm on the computer alot anyway and have to search for things. I might as well get some free stuff for doing it. Also, if you have friends you can refer to swagbucks(like I'm doing right now) you can earn a swagbuck every time they do (up to 100 swagbucks for each friend) so if you're interested in doing it, click on this link and then you'll be helping me out too!

Walgreens ESR for February

It's a new month so Walgreens has some new rebates for their Easysaver Rebate(posted about the ink refill last month). I love this rebate because you can easily enter your receipt info. online and there is no waste of a stamp. These are a few of the good deals for the month:

Zucol Cold Care $7.99 get $7.99 back($2 coupon makes it a moneymaker)

Garnier Fructis $3.99 get $3.99 there are still some $1 coupons from some inserts awhile ago to make it a moneymaker

Thermacare Heat Wrap $2.49 get $2.49

I used my rebate check I got from last months rebates ($7.50) to buy these items and then I'll send in and get more money back. It's a great way to keep this game going and getting free stuff along the way.
